All the charm of a tiny hermit crab, combined with the striking red racing stripes pattern of the snails. Being small they can get into all the little nooks and crannies of the rock work to reach algae and small food particles that larger animals may have missed. Being so small they also don't knock over corals etc. Watch them race around your tank tidying it up as they go.
